Community Tasting Notes (average 87.9 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 10 notes) | |
| Tasted by hutch on 9/14/2008 & rated 87 points: Interesting wine. Popped and poured. Beautiful nose, of scorched earth and dark berries. But the palate was out of whack, empty on the finish. Set it aside to try the next day. Much better on day 2. Still has a whopping nose. Fruit forward, but interesting. Still doesn't carry the weight toward the finish I was looking for. While interesting, it sort of showed why Petit Verdot is a blending grape. It has a lot to offer, but doesn't come together by itself. Worth trying though. (329 views) | |

| Tasted by MarcInDSM on 1/20/2008 & rated 80 points: Too much heat on nose and palate, and this did not blow over with decanting. This is a very big wine, but the flavor just wasn't really pleasant. Pass. (500 views) | |

| Tasted by danseng on 10/10/2007: I was expecting a big wine, but did not get any of what others have mentioned. I thought it was very thin and not overly tannic. We did decant for 2 hours. Overall a good, fruit forward wine, but not as enjoyable as their shiraz. (833 views) | |
| Tasted by Tarrant on 10/8/2007 & rated 90 points: Simply fabulous, still a baby however with many years ahead of it - It was very dark purple, concentrated and complex, with notes of spice, mint, black fruit and oak, intense tannic structure, with decent length, one of our perennial favourites (90 Points).

| Tasted by Tarrant on 6/6/2007 & rated 90 points: Excellent - Dark purple, concentrated and complex with extreme fruit and oak on the nose, big but very balanced with a medium/long finish (90 Points). (750 views) | |
